The COVID-19 pandemic rapidly transformed traditional work environments, forcing workplaces globally to adopt remote working models. While remote work initially provided a safe solution to continue operations amidst social distancing mandates, it introduced significant ergonomic risks, particularly as home workstations were often not optimised for long-term use. As organisations continue offering flexible work options, understanding and mitigating ergonomic risks is critical for maintaining workforce health and productivity.

Dementia patients may have an increased risk of developing malnutrition, due to inadequate food intake and inferior dietary quality. Furthermore, functional impairment may worsen the situation by limiting the ability to self-feed. It may ultimately lead to a decrease in quality of life and an increase in caregiver burden. Therefore, the current study aims to assess the nutritional status (NS), functional status (FS) and quality of life (QoL) of dementia patients and compare them with those of healthy individuals.

In the twenty-first century, ageing has become one of the most discussed global issues. Keeping this in mind the present study was conducted to evaluate and compare the needs of older people residing in gated and non-gated communities with a view to give recommendations to residents’ welfare associations based on the elderly needs.

Liver disorders have recently become the deadliest disorder in many countries, with the number of patients increasing as a result of alcohol consumption, exposure to toxic gases, and ingestion of tainted foods and drugs. Data mining is the most effective approach for detecting the disease early on.

Prescription auditing is crucial for evaluating healthcare quality and optimizing medication usage. Medication errors can occur during prescribing, dispensing, and administration, impacting patient safety. This study aims to assess medication errors across these stages, focusing on prescribing practices using WHO core prescribing indicators.

Computational methods have become indispensable in modern medicinal chemistry research, enabling the rapid screening and evaluation of potential drug candidates. This study leverages in silico approaches to investigate the neuroprotective potential of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives. By employing software such as PASS online, SwissADME, ProTox-III, and Autodock Vina, we aimed to predict the biological activity, pharmacological properties, and toxicity profiles of these compounds.

Anger, a fundamental human emotional response, is closely linked with alcohol consumption and its adverse effects. Men who consume alcohol are particularly susceptible to experiencing and expressing anger.

Despite a great deal of research, the reasons for low back pain remain unknown, and the results of treatment are not adequate. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine whether Mulligan’s Bent Leg Raise and Gate approach was beneficial for non-specific low back pain. This study is intriguing in that the technique utilised in previous studies was primarily focused on improving the hamstring flexibility of patients with lower back pain; in contrast, the focus here was on improving the patient’s pain and range of motion.

Numbness, tingling, pain and weakness are common in Diabetic Neuropathy patients and these symptoms often start in their feet before spreading proximally in a length-dependent manner. This results in a decrease in balance which leads to increased risk of fall and reduced quality of life. Otago Exercise Programme (OEP) is an individually tailored, home-based, balance and strength fall prevention programme that helps to improve balance in the elderly population. This study was conducted to determine if four weeks of OEP had any impact on balance and falls in diabetic neuropathy patients.

Public Health has a demanding job market and the number of institutions offering Master of Public Health programmes (MPH) is on the rise. This paper investigates the perceived employability skills required for public health students and graduates to secure and sustain a job.

Arthroplasty, often performed for degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis, significantly improves patient quality of life by alleviating pain and restoring mobility. This study focuses on drug-related complications in elective total joint arthroplasties, an area of concern as these complications can lead to adverse outcomes and prolonged hospital stays.

Respiratory diseases are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in children with cerebral palsy (CP).

This study examines middle-aged individuals (mean age 56.4 years) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), focusing on demographic factors and their links to complications. Chronic hyperglycemia and genetic predisposition significantly contribute to disease progression.

Nosocomial infections, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), are “infections acquired by a patient in a hospital who was admitted for a reason other than that infection.” A WHO survey reported that on average, 8.7% of hospital patients were affected by nosocomial infections. To prevent the transmission of infections, Standard precautions prevent infections spread through blood, fluids, non-intact skin, and mucous membranes.

Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers work as Directly Observed Therapy Short course (DOTS) providers in rural and tribal areas.

The burden of breast cancer across the globe is rising and is anticipated to cross almost 2 million by 2030. Tumour markers estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)/neu along with cancer stem cells expression of CD24 and CD44 are crucial in predicting therapy resistance and prognosis.

Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is an uncommon, malignant, multilocular vascular disorder with a predominance of the skin and mucous membranes, lymphatic system, and internal organs such as the gastrointestinal system, lungs, or liver. There are five major epidemiologic subtypes of KS, each of which has its own clinical course, prognosis, and tendency to occur more frequently in a certain population: There are five distinct KS types: There are five different types of KS: classical, iatrogenic, immunosuppressive, endemic (African) lymphadenopathic, epidemic, Aids-related, connected to immune reconstitute inflammatory syndromes (IRIS), and KS in men who have sex with men (MSM) but aren’t HIV positive. This interdisciplinary guideline condenses the most recent recommendations for diagnosing and treating the various kinds of KS.

Gut dysbiosis is one of the risk factors to cause acute diarrhoea in children. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (L. rhamnosus GG) is one of the most studied probiotic strains and its efficacy in acute diarrhoea is validated in various clinical studies. The current systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy of L. rhamnosus GG in paediatric acute diarrhoea by using the clinical studies published in the last decade (till September 2023). Articles were retrieved from five online databases and screened as per the pre-designed protocol. The quality of the studies that qualified was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale.

Pain is an intrinsic part of human experience, a universal sensation which serves both as a warning signal and a catalyst for growth. It is an intricate and multifaceted phenomenon that manifests in various forms- physical, emotional, and psychological. While pain is often associated with negativity and suffering, it is essential to explore its duality and consider whether it can be seen as both a blessing and a curse.

This case report describes a novel technique of fabrication of gasket retained Cu-sil partial denture for a patient with a single tooth remaining in the maxillary arch. A gasket ring of Cu-sil was fabricated using 3D printing technology with polyurethane material using the fused deposition modelling technique. The denture was processed with the 3D printed gasket ring in the conventional manner using heat cure acrylic resin. This technique helped in providing accurate fit and retention for the prosthesis while retaining the natural teeth.
